What are some illegal things that should be legal?
  • In the US, it depends on the State or municipality. I've slept in my car plenty of times while traveling, although it was often in parking garages and out of sight, so maybe I just got lucky. It will really depend on how uptight the town or store manager is. I've heard that RVs are generally welcome at Walmarts, so I'd like to heard the logic on why RV are ok to sleep in but not cars.

  • Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
  • This is the problem with Scientific studies, Media, Reporting and bunch of people running with studies that make a lot of FALSE ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT TELLING YOU THE FULL FUCKING STORY.

    ah, but randos online know the real story. The Caplocks only adds to your authenticity. Look, you're trying to ague about semantics to discredit concerns about microplastics getting in people's blood streams. Within the context of micro particials, there's really not much difference between "rubber" and "plastic" as what makes them unique to each other is their properties when bonded in large forms. Maybe it's harmless or maybe it's this generation's lead poisons, toxoplasmosis, or aspectos. Aspectos, which by the way, is perfectly natural, but still dangerous to humans. Something I have to remind people when they talk about corn oil based plastics. The half life on PLA may be shorter, but research is still being done on how quickly harm happens and what levels harm can occur.

  • "Woke" games
  • The difference isn't in subject matter, but writing quality. I like retro shooters and considering Build Engine(think Duke Nukem) style games are based on movie genres, I'd love a blaxploitation game were I'm shooting Nazis and throwing molotov cocktails at clansmen. The subject matter would absolutely be in you face.

    Remember, people got offended at how Nazis were portrayed Wolfenstein, a game solely about killing Nazis.

    We can critique the writing of games like Dustborn, but the moment you start complaining about "wokeness", you signal that you're just gaming the algorithm for the lowest common denominator of viewer to drive that ad money up.

  • Gotta use the budget on something I guess
  • Not really a good comparison. In modern times, a smart phone is a basic necessity and can be that persons only connection to their friends, family and work opportunities. A digital sign in the lobby of a school doesn't hold nearly the same utility.

  • Gotta use the budget on something I guess
  • Not in the 00's when I went to high school. It was for some alt education program that never happen, so who knows how much background cost there was that was wasted.

    Also, to many poor schools always seem to fine the funds for their after school sports programs

  • Gotta use the budget on something I guess
  • Yours got used as a sign? I remember big screens being install in one of the back rooms for some alt education program that never actually happened. This was in the 00's, so those screens were not cheap.

  • Missing a slam-dunk headline
  • I mean, it's RFK Jr. I doubt he would even be able to identify real organic fertilizers anyway. If he were to inspect a site and see fertilizers, even organic fertilizer in bags, he's probably tell them to throw it out and just just rely on the unamended soil. He would then go home and eat over priced Whole Foods produce that may or may not be honest about the organic label.

  • Missing a slam-dunk headline
  • On the farms, he said, residents would grow their own organic food—which would help them recover from addiction,

    These people are going to starve to death. It's difficult enough to farm when you want to farm.

    Nova Aokami leaves VReverie, keeps the IP and is going indie.

    There was a long rumor that the reason she didn't quit the company when everyone else was quitting was because she was trying to outlast the company and retain the IP. She's the companies top talent, so the fact that there were willing to sell the IP to her really doesn't look good for the longevity of the company. They now only have 3 of the 14 talents they had signed.

    I've held a theory that she's independently wealthy and could weather the bs. She's mentioned having her own manager that she pays directly a few months ago, which is really weird for an agency vtuber to have.

    Community college is a joke and shouldn't preclude entering a 4year as a Freshman.

    Community college ostensibly for people who don't have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don't want to feel bad about having to go.

    I did in fact try community college and it's really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn't even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

    If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

    MSM Talent's talent list from March to today.

    This might be considered drama, but I thought some people might be interested in an update.

    March Wayback Machine listing.

    Current List.

    For those out of the loop, back in May, FalseEyed broke a story about MSM. Right after that, several vtubers shared their own stories about dealing with the CEO and his bad behavior.

    Just afterward, Aethel made two statements. The first one saying that he's talking to HIS laywers. The second announcing his departure.

    Since then, the company has been shedding talents. I assume more are just waiting for their contracts to run out and want to leave quietly.

    According to Krimbo, the MSM CEO is largely responsible for Takahata101's burnout last year. It will be interesting to see who shows back up in the bar now that Taka is back.

    Edit: Another four dropped since I posted this. GhostySaige, Nagzz, RPR and Vexoria.

    Most of the open drama is happening on Twitter, which I don't use, so I can only relay second hand info. MSM's Director of Talent also bailed yesterday with the support of exMSM talents.

    Edit 2: and the talent page is empty. Some back and forth going on on twitter.

    Edit 3: Falseeyed's coverage of the msm fallout.

    Figured out where Miyune went.

    old: https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/Miyune

    new: https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/MinikoMew

    Weird that she would abandon a 100k+ identity for a rebrand when her old IP already had a serious redesign. It was bothering me where she went when she disappeared out of the blue. One of her notable collabs was being the first to collab with Neuro-sama.

    "If, Then, Goto" Statements in Geometry?

    I'm not looking for answers. Just directions on what keywords for lectures on the topic. I can find CS stuff when looking, but that feels too esoteric for high school geometry?

    Phase Connect Auditions ARE OPEN!

    Former Tsunderia talent, turned PC manager, turned PC talent, Dizzy also did a stream titled: Why You Should NOT Join Phase Connect where she explained what it means to go from being an indie to a corpo talent. What is expected of you, what groups success means, deadline expectations. I think one of the reasons for PC's success has been setting realistic expectations with their talents. I think part of the reason for this steam is to dissuade the people who previous would have misunderstood what PC can and cannot do you for.

    Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken.

    Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

    Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

    What exactly are the "mini sweet peppers" that grocery stores sell?

    I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for "those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell". I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling.

    I linked to what I think the person was talking about.

    Some "old internet" brand of interesting.

    I was thinking of how people on the old internet would just create and share stuff for the simple sake of doing it, without trying to grind the algorithm. This woman in the mid 00's would bike through Chernoby, taking pictures and checking rad levels along the way.

    Her anglefire page is defunk, but she has a youtube page now.

    And for an added level of interesting, here's the slashdot page where I originally found it.

    Help creating a BoM for the Ring Accelerator?

    Hello,

    I'm creating a BoM for a youth group project. We're planning on building the Electromagnetic Ring Accelerator from Hyperspace Pirate. He's provided the 3d print files, but not the finer details on wire gauge, enamel wire gauge and ball size. I also want to confirm the photoresistor. Are there different photoresistors with with different sensitivities or ranges?

    I've included the wip of the BoM.

    Ways to improve academic standing without going to community college?

    I'm in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I'd be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

    I'd consider CC if I could "transfer" in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.
